Chapter 5: The King’s Sudden Death

The next day, the second prince arrived at the library, surrounded by a group of mages and battle-qi swordsmen.
This time, with Lei Luo’s cultivation level, he was able to distinguish their magic power levels.
None of them had reached the level of an elemental mage. The strongest mage was only a grade-9 mage. To Lei Luo, who had already advanced to an elemental mage, he was not considered strong.
He had thought that the second prince would enter the library directly like before; he did not expect the second prince to suddenly stop and look at him. “Why are you alone here?”
“Your Royal Highness, to answer your question, the old senior passed away some time ago.” Lei Luo said.
“Oh, I see.” The second prince nodded and did not say anything more as he walked in.
Half an hour later, a warrior power swordsman in silver armor walked out and said to Lei Luo, “His Highness has something to ask you. Come with me.”
Lei Luo followed this warrior power swordsman into the area of the library and smelled a very familiar fragrance.
In the past, Lei Luo had not recognized this fragrance, but since he had read many books, he knew that this was the smell of a type of vanilla that could increase the effect of meditation to reach the effect of concentration.
It was very obvious that this second prince liked to use this type of vanilla.
“Your Highness, the student from the library has arrived.”
The second prince looked at Lei Luo. “Okay. I want to find a book called the Thunder Mountain Mantra, but they can’t find it. Do you know where it is?”
“Your Highness, I will bring it to you right away,” Lei Luo said.
He had been here for two years. Although he had not read all the books, he had read most of them. Moreover, he studied top-tier meditation techniques every day, so his memory had become extremely good. He hardly forgot anything he had read.
Soon, Lei Luo passed the Thunder Mountain Mantra to the second prince.
After the second prince received the Thunder Mountain Mantra, he gave an order and began to read.
When Lei Luo left, he was rewarded with two silver coins. The silver coins that the old senior had accumulated were probably received this way.
In the next two years, the second prince came to the library to read more frequently.
Lei Luo was always disturbed and was a little impatient. Although he was rewarded every time, he did not care about this little money at all.
Lei Luo’s cultivation had now reached the third-level of elemental wizards.
The higher the cultivation, the slower the cultivation speed.
Now, every time he broke through to the next level, it would take months or even a year.
In fact, this speed was already very terrifying.
Lei Luo could not help but sigh. Time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had been in the library for five years.
Suddenly, Lei Luo unexpectedly discovered a problem. It seemed that the second prince had not visited the library for some time.
It was better that he did not come. Lei Lou could cultivate in peace.
However, this situation did not last long. A junior hurried over and handed a set of black mourning clothes to Lei Luo. He said, “The king is dead. Everyone in the country has to wear black mourning clothes.”
“The King is dead?”
Lei Luo was a little surprised.
No wonder the second prince had not had the time to come recently. I wonder who the new king will be?
However, who became the king had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, he was in the library of the Magic Academy and was too far away from the center of power of the king. It would not affect him at all unless there was a shocking event like the destruction of the kingdom.
As for mourning clothes, Lei Luo wouldn’t wear them. No one would know whether he wore them or not. He was the only one in the library. No one would care about him.
...
Late at night.
Lei Luo was sitting in an empty room in the library, meditating. He could now enter a meditative state anytime and anywhere.
The system only helped him learn to meditate, and the specific proficiency required him to practice on his own.
Over the years, Lei Luo would sit down and meditate whenever he had free time.
However, the effect of this top-tier meditation technique on Lei Luo, who was already a grade-3 elemental mage, was gradually weakening. He would definitely need to find a better meditation technique in the future.
For a short period of time, the top-tier meditation technique could still be used as the main cultivation codex.
In addition to the top-tier meditation technique that he mainly studied, Lei Luo had also signed up and obtained many powerful martial arts over the years. For example; the complete version of the forbidden magic manual, dazzling brilliance, wind, lightning, ice spells...
As an elemental mage, he could use all of these elemental spells. Ordinary great mages used magic power to attack, while elemental mages could fuse magic power into nature, thus drawing upon the power of Heaven and Earth for their own use, the power was also many times stronger than that of ordinary great mages.
This was also the reason why elemental mages were more honorable than ordinary mages.
Elemental mages would usually find an element to specialize in because the techniques of using each element were very different. It was extremely difficult to learn multiple elements at once, and because Lei Luo had a system, the codex he obtained could be learned in an instant.
Therefore, other than the rare elemental codex, he had learned almost all of the common elements.
